Why is it important?
Increasing the effectiveness of Big Finance and Big Tech’s in helping address the world’s social problems begins with gaining a deeper understanding of a problem’s fundamental qualities, and the leadership approach necessary to address it effectively. There is no one-size-fits-all solution—remember, Wicked Problems don’t have solutions—but there are approaches to mitigate them and make significant progress.
Perspectives
We guide readers through an introduction to common definitions, social finance and SDGs, and provide a Deliberate Leadership framework to help investors find their North Star to make more ethical decisions when confronting wickedly difficult problems.
